Why is DFG not allowed to be in the game, but Assassin dagger is?

We're not talking about a fed Assassin, you're talking about buying one item, the old Last Whisper, and being able to kill tanks with that one purchase while not sacrificing anything when it comes to killing squishies. Now if you want to kill that tank with 300 armor you have to accept that you need to itemize for it with something that won't help you kill a squishy damage dealer.

Or you'd laugh at how they've gimped themselves for most of the game while you can just farm without fear of them or roam for kills (Because vision sucks now that we have no green wards).

But that was never the case, and what you've said proves that you don't know what the fuck you're on about, just like most of Boards when it comes to Assassins??? Old LW let you do damage to tanks yes, but your damage would only be substantial if you were fed. But you don't know shit so you fail to realise this. I could be hella fed, build a cleaver, LW, MAW, Youmou's and every damn armour penetration item in the game, and I'm still not going to be able to touch that tank if they have 300 armour. Do the maths. 300 armour reduced by 35% is going to be 195 armour. Let's say he has 100 base and 200 bonus, that 195 is going to be split into 65 base and 130 bonus. 40% pen (LOL massive gold sink) against bonus armour - 78 bonus armour left. 65 + 78 = 143 armour. Maw = - 10 Youmou's = - 20 Masteries = 14 at level 18 Runes = 19 10 + 20 + 14 + 19 = 63 143 - 63 = 80 armour. Now take into consideration that by the time a Cleaver is full stacked an Assassins burst is over. Then consider the amount of health that tank is going to have. Then consider the fact that I'm going to be less effective against squishy champions, and that Maw should probably be a mercurial. Ok. Now let's drop back to a little earlier in the game. Let's say that I'm at a total of 3ish items while the top lane tank is at 1 and a bit. Let's say he has 70 base armour and an additional 70 from runes masteries and items. Let's say my items are - Youmou's, Tiamat, QSS, Lucids, hell, let's say that I even have a fucking cleaver to boot alright? xD That's 10100 fucking gold right there, as opposed to his what, 3500? 140 armour reduced to 91 by 5 stacks of cleaver. Then to 71 by Youmou's. Then to 52 by runes - extra generous here. Assuming that cleaver was fully stacked before I'd definitely do more than scratch them, I'd probably do 60% of their health . But it's not going to be so I won't be able to, I'll probably do 40% tops, and that's assuming I drop my full damned combo which is a waste. That isn't right. Now imagine he has 6000 gold. Where am I at then? lol.

So what you're saying is that you're too incompetent to harass a melee champion down with bases when all of your spells outrange their early gap closers?? You must really suck.

Your premise is flawed because you can't rush armor and farm. Why? Because leveling your skills increases their mana costs, which means the enemy AD will/should shove you to tower, force you to lose CS, and guarantee that you cannot follow roams (whether you ping or not).

So you end up blowing your mana to avoid feeding your turret. And when you need to recall, odds are slim that you'll be able to shove the wave beforehand.

Besides that, it will always be better to build Armguard than Chain Vest. Armguard has AP, builds into a mandatory item, and ends up with the same amount of armor in a couple of waves.

Even leaving mana out of the equation altogether, I can tell you from my experience playing Katarina that Zed and Talon chew through you. At level 6 Kat has 40 base armor, 40 from Armguard, and 9 from runes. 89 armor is nothing to them with a mage-sized health pool. It never ceases to amaze me how much damage shurikens do super early in the game with armor runes and starting cloth.

If you're losing to Talon as a level 6 Kat with 90 armour then you suck. ???

I would like to point out that most kata players that I encounter Rush health against Talon, not armor. Talon is a hard counter to her yes, but like any mage mid, if you stay back and farm under tower while coordinating with jungle ganks the Talon should get nothing from your lane.
